USDA Inspection Report: 2 Mar 2012

Code: 01D01Violation: 416.2(b)(1), 416.2(b)(3)

Citation: At approximately 0830 while inspecting
the outside premises during an SPS verification task,I noticed that
a siding board approximately 4" X 12" in size, had come loose on one
end creatinga hole in the outside wall of the plant. This hole is
located on the offal storage room wall, to the right (west) of the
overhead door, near the bottom. I explained this disrepair could
lead to the entrance of vermin to and he agreed it was in need of
repair. No product was affected/adulterated. US REJECTED tag #766785
was applied to the room's inside door near the Kill Floor, awaiting
repair.
